ANOTHER LEADERSHIP TESTIMONY

NYDT Projects Officer Mr Njabulo Moyo has been selected to represent Bulawayo in “Tracing Welfare in Denmark” project that will be held in Denmark in August this year. It is an initiative of MS Denmark under its Millennium Development Goals project that strives to identify youths who are actively involved in community development programmes. The aim of the project is to make the Danish people know more about conditions in third world countries. Mr Moyo and another young lady Rachel from Harare were among youths who took part in MS funded projects and were identified as potential participants in this year’s edition of the event. The participants were required to submit curriculum vitaes, photographs and essays about themselves and activities that they are partaking in, with the objective of improving the livelihoods of the members of their society.
MS Mozambique’s Information Officer Henrick and photographer Tine arrived in Bulawayo on the 15th of April and visited the NYDT offices to meet Mr Moyo and find out more about him and the community work he does through NYDT programmes. The information will be published in a magazine aimed at raising awareness on current issues in countries all over the world. The representatives will benefit by way of interacting with other youths and through cultural exchange.
National Youth Development Trust (NYDT) is a membership based youth organisation whose main commitment is to empower young people in Zimbabwe with skills to participate in local and national governance policy making processes. The organisation creates a platform for youths to express themselves and engage community leaders on different policy and community based project issues. This is done as a way to empower them to be in charge of their destiny and that of the country.

Money :Is it the greatest source of motivation?

Some call it cash money, imali, muler ,some say its the love of it is the root of all evil whilst others say it makes the world go around.The most interesting thing about money is that some of us cannot leve without it and neither can they live with it for to them its a case of "more money more problems" .Over the years,scholars have argued that: "the greatest source of motivation is money.Well we all need money as a means of exchange and to facilitate trade transactions and a store of value .However ,to a greater extent money has failed to motivate many people for the greatest motivator is a strong, clear and passionate vision.

Does the world still have visionary leaders?

Visionary leaders are people who do not just paint a picture, but those that paint it and explain it! The whole essence of visionary leadership is rooted in one`s ability to effectively share their vision to others in such that even in their absence what they sought to achieve is achieved by others. The good thing about vision sharing is that you do not need to be there for your vision to be achieved. Most importantly you have to tackle all limitations and turn your tragedies into triumphs. The world has its own standards of determining hero and heroine status but to me it is those leaders that have turned their tragedies into triumphs and dark nights into victory that I believe deserve the status. A blind man`s world is bounded by the limits of his touch; an ignorant man`s world by the limits of his knowledge; a great man`s world by the limits of his vision .Paul Harvey What is vision?

Last Friday: Sketches from My Soul, BOOK LAUNCH

· 28 October, 2013 · Written by Chris Nqoe Rain is considered a considered a good sign in African culture and tradition. In equal comparison, time is really not a concept that’s respected by people of African descent. Now imagine our surprise this past Friday, when right on cue, 5PM to be precise, the heavens above Bulawayo opened up to bless our thirsty city with torrential rain. The random event organiser would have been caught in a panic, praying to God to cease the floodgates of Heaven and ensure invited guests made it to the Sketches from My Soul book launch at the Bulawayo Theatre. Now picture what actually transpired at the venue of the launch, right under the pouring rain. Guests were instead seemingly oblivious to the rain, posing for close to three photographers on the red carpet, capturing moments that will become WhatsApp avatars and Facebook profile pictures. Book lovers, the literati, media, poets and Bulaw...
